Chapter 580

Since there is a Primordial Spirit, one can naturally cultivate the Dao of Severing the Three Corpses, severing the Three Corpses' forms.

But Sister Houtu did not wish to sever an ordinary Three Corpses avatar—she sought to sever the form of the Ancestral Witch, Houtu.

Houtu's original Ancestral Witch body had already transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Even her essence-blood had been reduced to only a few drops.

With merely a few drops of essence-blood, even Nüwa, the greatest master of Creation in the Three Realms, might not be able to condense an identical Ancestral Witch Houtu body.

Thus, Sister Houtu had never condensed a Three Corpses avatar.

This time, with Luo Fu's help, she had comprehended the Earth Dao to an unprecedented level.

The Ancestral Witch of Earth is the embodiment of the Earth Dao.

Sister Houtu thus decided to take a gamble: combining the Earth Dao with her essence-blood, she attempted to condense an Ancestral Witch body and sever a Houtu avatar.

Unfortunately, Sister Houtu had still underestimated the difficulty.

Pangu's bloodline is not so easily condensed.

Had Luo Fu not unleashed that final burst of Creation force, Sister Houtu could never have succeeded.

Successfully condensing the Ancestral Witch body lifted the burden that had weighed on Sister Houtu for countless eons.

This debt is no smaller than the previous one.

And the final debt? It is even greater.

The authority of the Lord of Earth, and moreover, the perfected authority of the Earth Dao.

Sister Houtu could feel the terrifying power contained within the perfected Earth Dao of the Journey to the West World.

And this is still a malnourished Earth Dao.

Once its restrictions are lifted and the Journey to the West World's Earth Dao is allowed to spread freely,

the power within the Journey to the West World's Earth Dao will swell countless times over.

To control this power—even Ancestor Hongjun, Sister Houtu felt she could stand against him.

As for the Heavenly Dao Saints, she could easily suppress them.

Granting the Earth Dao's authority is equivalent to directly placing her upon the Supreme Divine Throne.

This is no longer merely a debt.

"No need to be so formal—we're friends. No need to count every favor. If you truly wish to thank me, you'll have many more chances to do so in the future."

Luo Fu waved his hand, stopping Sister Houtu's thanks.

To him, everything he had just done was a mere gesture—a form of investment—and did not warrant such profound gratitude from Sister Houtu.

"Very well! Friend, you will forever be the most honored friend of our Wu Clan."

As a member of the Wu Clan, Sister Houtu herself was exceedingly forthright; seeing that Luo Fu refused her thanks, she ceased pressing the matter.

Instead, she engraved his debt deep within her heart.

"Friend, you haven't yet said what your third purpose is."

Having just received Luo Fu's great favor, Sister Houtu was eager to repay him in some way.

"As it happens, my third purpose aligns perfectly with what you have just done."

Luo Fu smiled at Sister Houtu—he had not expected she had thought the same thing.

"I wonder, do you have any remaining essence-blood of the other Ancestral Witches?"

"Do you mean to revive the other Ancestral Witches? Do you have any confidence in succeeding?"

Hearing the implication in Luo Fu's words, Sister Houtu was flooded with overwhelming joy and cried out in uncharacteristic excitement.

Yes, Luo Fu's third purpose was precisely to test whether he could revive the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Luo Fu had few friends he could trust, and the Wu Clan was unquestionably one of them.

But the current Wu Clan had fallen into severe decline and could offer him little aid.

In truth, aside from Sister Houtu and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the rest of the Wu Clan offered him no real assistance.

Thus, Luo Fu had resolved to revive the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were no weaklings.

If he could revive them, it would be a tremendous boon to Luo Fu.

In the past, Luo Fu could not be certain he could revive the Twelve Ancestral Witches with absolute certainty.

After refining countless Chaotic Divine Demon essence-bloods and absorbing countless Dao legacies, Luo Fu now had full confidence in reviving the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

He merely required their essence-blood—and some time.

"Of course I have confidence—though I do need the Ancestral Witches' essence-blood, and some time."
